JULIE MARCUS IT IS TIME FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT DEBATE IN AMERICAN POLITICS

The Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee Appears To Have Endorsed Julie Marcus Without The Votes Of The PCREC Members.

Several hours after qualifying to run as a Republican candidate for the Pinellas County Supervisor of elections. There was an email sent out to the members via email.

Below is a copy of their email and below that my rebuttal statement and challenge for a public debate of the facts and massive evidence of the neglect of duty, corrupt practices and official misconduct that should be fully discussed if Julie Marcus wants to be honest and transparent.

-My rebuttal to the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee and Julie Marcus

Lack of Election Integrity and Breach of Public Trust By Julie Marcus, Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections

Today across Florida, Supervisors of Elections have fallen far short in ensuring every vote is counted fairly and accurately. Sadly, based on my extensive work nationwide, I can say Pinellas County is among the worst counties in Florida and nationwide in this task.

This is a total failure on the part of Julie Marcus. Pinellas County elections have no integrity and no transparency. It is for this reason that I have chosen to run against Julie Marcus for Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections.

I hereby challenge Julie Marcus the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections to a public debate to be conducted prior to early voting and the vote by mail ballots being sent out to Pinellas County voters.

If Julie Marcus is serious about all her achievements, claims of accurately counting the ballots and votes of the people of Pinellas County, then she should have no problem debating the other Republican candidate publicly.

If Marcus is so sure and confident then there should be no problem providing the “official election records”, election data as required under Florida State and Federal law.

The voters of Pinellas County have the right to view how our elections were and are administered. If Marcus is serious about her transparency, then giving a public viewing of the “Audit Logs”, “Machine Logs” and “Configuration Reports” and a discussion of the content of those records is the transparency that will restore the faith and trust in our sacred elections.

In this debate, Julie Marcus can show us the “irrefutable proof” of what a “Blank Ballot” is and how these “Blank Ballots” did not disenfranchise many tens of thousands of Pinellas County voters and deprive candidates for office of their hard-earned votes.

This public debate should give her the opportunity to refute and disprove my claims once and for all.  Julie Marcus claimed that my allegations were “categorically false”. Let the debate be settled once and for all.

Julie Marcus stated “Paper ballots are essential because they create a physical record of each vote. This allows for audits or recounts as required by law, ensuring every vote is preserved and open to inspection.”

When these ballots and the “audit records” of our voting systems are being illegally withheld by Marcus this creates significant doubt in the minds of “We the People” that our voter intent is being represented when our ballots and votes are being tabulated.

Marcus claims that to guard against fraud, Florida law also enforces strict voter identification requirements. Acceptable forms of ID include Florida driver's licenses (currently being given out to non-US Citizens), among other non-government issued forms of IDs like homeowner association IDs, student IDs, debit cards, credit cards,

These measures were intended to verify the identity of each voter, enhancing the security of the voting process. However, none of these safeguards are present with the vote by mail process that Julie Marcus would like to see at 100%.

Florida law requires mail ballot voters to provide personal identifying information to request a mail ballot before one is sent to them. I know for a fact, based on my work nationwide the ERIC system has been used to clone voters’ identities and register them to vote in multiple states.  The sharing of our PII data with private companies and leftist non-profits like the Soros funded ERIC, without our consent by Florida Supervisors of Elections and Florida Division of Elections officials is a crime.

Concerned grassroots citizen groups and many of the members of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee (PCREC) have learned since the 2020 and 2022 elections that the sad state of the voter rolls not being properly maintained by Julie Marcus have created massive opportunities for widespread vote by mail election fraud and massive additional costs to the taxpayers.

For every bad address and undeliverable vote by mail ballot and communications sent out via USPS there is a significant waste in printing and postage costs.  Pinellas County taxpayers should not be forced to pay for creating more opportunities for bad actors to harvest ballots.   

During the 2020 and 2022 elections, I personally observed multiple vote by mail ballots being received by many of my neighbors. 

Defend Florida presented this information to the attention of Marcus and the PCREC. Their concerns fell on deaf ears and they were labeled “conspiracy theorists” and “election deniers.”

I personally brought thousands of instances of Pinellas County “voters” who were sent vote by mail ballots to mailing addresses that according the to the USPS were flagged as “Undeliverable”. I was threatened by Matt Smith (legal counsel for the SOE) that if I continued my challenges, he would charge me with a misdemeanor for each challenge I made. 

As a result of my work and the work of others Julie Marcus and the illegal lobbyist group FSE INC, lobbied the legislature to exempt list maintenance activities from Public Records requests in SB7050.  So much for the claims of transparency…  

In the Marcus statement shared by the PCREC last Friday, she claimed that after the 2020 election, her office has removed more than 32,000 registered voters and changed the status from active to inactive registered voters of more than 168,000 voters through address list maintenance activities. In addition, more than 47,000 voters have been removed through eligibility list maintenance activities. 

This statement by Marcus, is confirmation the facts and findings that concerned Pinellas County voters, taxpayers, and Defend Florida brought to Julie Marcus were “Actual and Factual”.  The subsequent coverup of their findings and the numerous failures by Marcus appears to be an “Actual Conspiracy” that resulted in election outcomes contrary to the will of the voters of Pinellas County.

Before each election, Florida law requires thorough testing of voting machines to ensure they are accurate and reliable. These pre-election tests are supposed to be open to the public, promoting transparency and fostering public trust in the electoral process.  This is anything but the case. Julie Marcus illegally withheld “Official Election Records” that are “Public Records” related to this logic and accuracy testing.  This is completely unacceptable.

Julie Marcus has refused to provide “Machine Configuration Reports”, Cast Vote Records (CVRs), and “Audit Logs” for the Logic and Accuracy testing. These are “Official Election Records” and “Public Records” that have no personally identifiable information. It is the illegal withholding of this data and records that is the reason why I am running for Supervisor of Elections for Pinellas County. 

Why are these public records so important? Because they are the only proof that Julie Marcus can provide that she legally administered elections.

Why has Julie Marcus been illegally hiding these “Official Election Records”? They were automatically generated during the course of her official duties, administering the elections in Pinellas County. These “Public Records” take a few mouse clicks to generate and send out in their original electronic format.

I have received these records from other counties in Florida and nationwide. In most cases they were provided free of charge.

How can any reasonably prudent or intellectually honest person claim to be transparent when they are so determined to hide the only record of how the votes were counted?

Due to the hanging chad debacle of the Bush/Gore election Florida, adopted its own standard for elections, intended to provide a higher standard than the federal standards adopted by many other states.

The federal standard for electronic voting system accuracy is 1 error in 125,000 occurrences. This is called the Maximum Allowable Error Rate.

The Florida “GOLD” Standard is 1 error in 1,000,000 occurrences.  This is also called the “Maximum Allowable Error Rate”.  This error rate can be found in DS-DE 101.

Based on the sheer number of “Ballots Cast – Blank” in Pinellas County alone during the 2020 and 2022 elections we know for a fact that the voting systems used to administer elections in Pinellas County do not meet these requirements and are uncertifiable.

We know for a fact that well over 30K Pinellas County voters did not go out during early voting, vote by mail ballot, on election day and via provisional voting and cast a 100% Blank Ballot. 

Further casting doubt on the accuracy of the electronic voting machines, the honesty, the integrity and the transparency of Marcus are the false claims made by her office that a “Blank Ballot” is a blank page of a multipage ballot.  This is categorically false. A blank page of a multipage ballot with some voting positions selected on the other pages are considered and counted as an “Under Vote” not a “Blank Ballot.”

Between the years of 2010 and 2016 the Director of the Florida Division of Elections submitted to the EAC – United States Election Assistance Commission what the definition of a “Blank Ballot” is under Florida Statutes. According to Maria Matthews, a “Blank Ballot” is a ballot that contains not one single voting position filled out on the entire ballot.

This definition of a “Blank Ballot” is also the same definition that the voting machine manufacturers use, the same definition used by the EAC, the testing laboratories used to certify the electronic voting systems, and the manufacturers of the systems used to audit our election results.

Are the electronic voting machine manufacturers, the Florida Division of Elections, the United States Election Assistance Commission, the certification laboratories intentionally misrepresenting what the definition of a “Blank Ballot” is or is Julie Marcus?  

To further bolster Marcus’ claims of transparency, she should have no problem providing to the public, the audit logs, machine configuration reports and the full county results of the Clear Audit process.  This “Official Election Results” data and “Public Records” can be easily generated and provided electronically in their original, unaltered, digitally signed format.

Challenge for Transparency

Given these failures, with the Primary Election on August 20^th, I challenge Julie Marcus to a public debate before early voting and mail-in ballots commence. If Marcus truly stands by her claims of accurately counting ballots and maintaining transparency, she should have no issue providing the following:

- Official Election Records: Including all ES&S audit logs, ES&S Machine Logs, ES&S machine configuration reports, and the full results and audit logs of the Clear Audit process.

- Proof of Integrity: Irrefutable evidence explaining the high number of blank ballots and demonstrating the legality and accuracy of the elections.

Conclusion

The voters of Pinellas County deserve transparency and integrity in their election process. Julie Marcus’s actions have eroded public trust. A public debate will provide her an opportunity to refute these claims and restore that trust.
